Judge approves $650m settlement for Facebook users in privacy, biometrics lawsuit

The case, a class-action lawsuit filed against the social media giant six years ago, alleged that Facebook violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which prevents companies from gathering or using biometric information from users without consent.  The lawsuit claimed that the Facebook Tag Suggestions feature, which used facial markers to suggest people in image tagging, violated BIPA by scanning, storing, and using user biometrics to create face templates without written permission. On Friday, in California, US District Judge James Donato approved the $650 million settlement, an increase of $100 million from Facebook s proposed $550 million in January 2020.  The ruling has been described as a landmark result.
